How Parishmouse is Funded

Parishmouse is funded, or one day hopefully will be 🙂 by advertising and affiliate links. By buying your family history books through Parishmouse you pay the same price but the site gets a commission which goes towards paying the hosting costs and ( I live in hope here) may buy me a coffee.

Now for the legal bit …

Parishmouse is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk.
